Monochrome Elegance: Black Dress Portrait

A striking black-and-white fashion portrait of a model in a sleek black dress, exuding elegance and sophistication. Studio shoot with dramatic high-contrast monochrome lighting (Rembrandt-style key light at 45 degrees, subtle fill) to create rich blacks and crisp whites. The dress features a structured silhouette with a soft satin sheen, catching highlights as the fabric drapes gracefully. The model stands with shoulders back, chin slightly lifted, one hand resting at the hip, the other relaxed at her side. Hair slicked back into a glossy, low bun; makeup is classic and understated to emphasize the eyes. Background is a smooth gray gradient to enhance contrast and separation. Shot with a 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, razor-sharp focus on the eyes, with a gentle rim light that defines the silhouette and adds a timeless, couture feel. The overall mood is refined, confident, and enduringly elegant.
